Pros:
Ball comes off the bat well. Has a good warranty on the bat. Would recommend the other high school baseball players. No other bat like this with the composite handle.Cons:Make sure the wood bat tournaments you play in allow it. Sometimes umps may question it because of the way it looks.

Product Description

Are you ready for something truly different this season? DeMarini has it, and it's going to revolutionize the way you look at wood bats. The Pro Maple Wood Composite BBCOR bat takes the solid construction, balanced weighting, and great pop of DeMarini's beloved wood bats and adds to it a carbon composite handle to create a phenomenal feeling swing! The barrel of the S243 is made from pro-grade maple wood. Maple is favored by many players due to its hardness, strength, and durability. The barrel features a 243 turn that is one of the more popular designs on MLB fields today. The handle of the S243 is where things get innovative though. Made from carbon composite (not composite wood), this new and improved handle design improves durability and helps the S243 to have a lighter swing weight. The resulting two-piece hybrid design gives players a wood like feel for higher performance, with added strength and a lighter feel. Don't settle for the ordinary. Get a DeMarini S243 today! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The S243 is BBCOR Certified and approved for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
